Creamed Tuna on Toast

“Well, my goodness, I thought my husband was going to eat the plate!! I made the recipe for 4 for the 2 of us and I had my serving and he ate the rest! It is really creamy and so good. So easy to make for a fast supper. We both loved it. I served this with a side of buttered noodles. Thanks BarbaraK!!”

“Oh my gosh!! My mom used to make this for me when I was a little girl. Except for the peas. This is so yummy and really brought back fond memories. Thanks for posting this.”

“This is a very easy recipe. I grew up on it.But we used it for breakfast. Just leave the pea’s out.”

“What a quick and easy lunch.This definitely worked as a “tunafish delivery vehicle” for my 16-month-old.A bit of this over cut up toast worked really well.It “delivered” peas into her diet as well without too many complaints.Yea!I sometimes limit salt & pepper in my cream dishes, their addition is a definite improvement over my conservative use.”

“I’m eating this as I write, and it’s great. I’m home alone, and all I had in the house was a pouch of lemon pepper tuna, so I went hunting for a brunch recipe to suit. Love the addition of peas, to make a change from the stuff I grew up on! Oh and it was easy to scale down for 1 person, I’m not eating the whole lot!”

“I made this for dinner tonight and it was great…Thanks BarbaraK.I wanted something quick and easy.It tasted excellent.I’m single, so I have leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch.Will make this again and again!!!”

“Oh this is sooooo good BarbaraK. Just the way my mom used to make it. Very rich and creamy and just warms the soul on a dreary day. Thanks so much for posting this.”

“This is the best!Like all the rest said, my mother made this for me when I was a kid!Soooo good!And my husband loved it, too! Cleaned his plate!Very easy, and very filling!Comfort food on a plate!”

“I really, really enjoyed this dish. It reminds me of chicken ala king (which I LOVE!!), except with tuna. The only thing I changed was that I added a 4 oz. can of sliced mushrooms. Yummy, yummy!! No leftovers here!! Thank you!!~Manda”

“My mom used to make this, so I had to try it right away.Perfect! It’s comfort food and very mild flavored. I sprinkled some crisp shoestring potatoes on top for crunch and a little grated cheese. I think it would be good with sliced almonds on top also. Thanks for reminding me of this great recipe.”

“What a surprise! When I told hubby what we were having, he kind of curled his lip at me and I knew he was disappointed. I went ahead and made it anyway and to my surprise and I believe his as well, he commented on how much he liked it three times while eating and mentioned he would like to have it again when we finished. I wasn’t sure how much I liked it the first two bites, but it really grew on me.My only changes were to add a clove of minced garlic and about a 1/4 C. of minced onion to the melted butter and let it cooked a few mins. before adding the flour. At the end I added a little bit of fresh lemon juice and gave it a stir. I served it over sturdy whole wheat bread and it was a very comforting meal. We will be making this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe.”

“Both the menfolk went crazy over this. So happy I found it, as I was in a “cleaning out the fridge mode.”This fit the bill and I got raving 5’s, despite the barely-there effort.I tossed a few finely minced red onions in the mix and topped with leftover canned peas cos it’s all I had on hand.Served on wheat toast (again, all I had). Other ways that they tried this dish:Son liked it with shredded colby/cheddar cheese…DH thought it was good with cheese, too, but just as good without.Lastly, son tried it served over a bed of rice with a dash of soy (and the peas, of course ) and loved it that way also.So happy that I doubled the recipe!Thank you.”

“Loved this!Definitely a blast from the past!I didn’t have any peas on hand.I used dill rye bread toasted and topped everything off with some grated cheddar cheese.Yum!Thanks for sharing!”

“Really good fast meal! Very budget friendly”

“VERY good comfort food favorite!The peas are a MUST for good old-fashioned Grandma-style creamed tuna.Another idea – we serve our creamed tuna over hot rice, mmmmmm mmmmmm very good and really filling!”

“We all love this stuff and I couldn’t wait to make it for the first time.I chose this recipe because it looked simple and the reviews were good.I made the sauce using canned peas because for this dish I like them better than frozen as they have better flavor for this type of dish.I poured the mixture into phyllo cups for a pretty presentation and served them with mashed potatoes on the side.Everyone gave them a high 5,but I think they deserve more like 10 because it was so good and such comfort food to the palate.Loved every mouthful!”

“I actually made this and substituted asparagus for the tuna. Of course, you can no longer call it Creamed Tuna on Toast. But it was perfect!”

“Holy yumness!! I’ll admit, I was skeptical with this recipe because of how easy it is and how small the ingredient list is…but…we all loved it! I added a second can of tuna to make it a little more tuna-y and poured it over fresh buttered rolls. Even my picky 5 year old ate a whole roll covered in it! Will definitely make again!”

“This is a great old recipe!! I serve it over New York Texas Toast found in the freezer section in the grocery store. Very filling. I double the recipe and serve leftover over noodles sprinkled with Parmesan cheese the next day.”

“I made this for 2 adults and 2 young children, doubled the recipe and had none left over. I didn’t use the peas because I didn’t have any in the house.Instead of 2 cups of milk, I did 1 1/2 cups — and it was still a little too thin for me.Regardless of the few tweeks, this is a very good recipe.My mom used to make this when I was a kid.I vaguely remember her using cream of mushroom soup, but I liked this version better.The 2 kids and dad all gave it a thumbs up!”
